soon to be restored rc10 gold pan buggy

[matthew john]

Got this one off craigslist for $50 !!! just a roller, had extra original rims and tires, those went on a car that had temporary ones. it has a aluminum steering bell crank, had a sway bar on the front but i took that and put it on my shelf gold pan that i got, stays in the box so the air dont hurt it anymore.

will post pics as i go through the resto process. ( got like 7 others im working on now, so lookfor my other posts!!!)

Enjoy!! ( i have more pics of this car, but they all didnt upload to photobucket)

after having some electrics $50 i think.

well i havent ever got a chance to tear this one down yet,but i had put in some elctrics before and ran it around a few times.after that it sat for a while, i got some nicer electronics and a motor for this,i put them in and ran it, but the battery ran out fast, and the esc gets realy hot , so i think the gearing is wrong. so i might be starting the tear down tomorow after work. i know in the update for another car , i said id start the tear down and cleaning, but never got a chance,just got busy.i appologize for that!id like to start the tear down and clean up tommorow, theres a better sentence!

also i was using a 12tooth pinion and a 52 spur,6 gear trans, 1800 mah nicd batt,novak 410-M1c, and a motor that has the timing marks,it says "welcome to the machine"rpm 31,283 @5.0v. i dont think this gearing is rite or some thing. if any one has any advice, would be greatly appreciated.







pics suck, sorry!
